Maybe some new headlights? I'm getting tired of my stockers turning yellow on me. Besides that i'm gonna try to save it and hopefully buy a motorcycle this summer. With gas approaching $4 soon, i need something good on gas.

I have a set of the Firestone Destination A/T's on my Astro. (AWD) They are OLD, and rather weather checked, but, still have a fair bit of tread on them.... I am more worried about the sidewalls, than I am the tread. They do great in the snow and ice. (and my abs is currently disabled.... someone had the brilliant idea of cutting the wires for the wheel speed sensors, I have no clue why......)

I got the van dirt cheap, did some work to it, and it has been pretty dependable. With those tires, I have taken it places that vans just shouldn't go.

Tax refunds are for suckers, but that's a topic for a different kind of thread/discussion.

have to add drums and wheel cylinders. popped my drums off today and its not a good sight.

pads are worn to the rivets, drums are grovved bad, and wheel cylinder is pissing out brake fluid.

have warentee on pads, 9 bucks for the wheel cylinder, so all i really have to worry about is drums...
